Kaukaz, na Kaukazie bez zmian

[Music] Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea we have the Caucasus Mountains mountain range, the peaks are 5,000 meters high, we have a total of 8 such peaks, the length of this Caucasus Mountains massif is 1,500 km, the width 110, even up to 180 km, and the

entire area is about 440,000 square kilometers, which is more, much larger than the entire area of ​​Poland, and these are probably the highest mountains in the world after the Himalayas and the Andes, in addition to the Great Caucasus, we also have the mountains of the so-called Lesser Caucasus, this Great Caucasus are these truly large

at an altitude of about 1,900 m above sea level. This altitude of 1,900 m changes because the water is generally constantly decreasing. Lake Sevan plays a very important role in the life of Armenia. It supplies the country with fish. About 90% of it is fish and crayfish, which constitute about 80% of what is

caught from this sea. Armenia has no access to the sea, only lakes, but a hydroelectric power plant was built on Lake Sevan. During the Stalinist period, six hydroelectric power plants were built on the Hansran River. But the water level through these power plants decreased, so in the years 1964-1981, the first Arpa Sevan tunnel, 49 km long, was built to
